Loading 3D model… large boards can take a moment.
This repository contains my ongoing KiCad PCB design for a home automation relay and power monitoring board.
The project is designed as a multi-channel control and monitoring board for home automation applications. It combines relay switching, power monitoring, sensing interfaces, optocoupler isolation, and onboard power regulation into one PCB design.
This project is still in progress, and I am continuing to improve the routing, board outline, component spacing, and design rule compliance.
The goal of this project is to design a PCB that can support home automation control and electrical monitoring functions. The board includes relay outputs for switching external loads, sensing sections for voltage/current monitoring, and interface connections for a controller module.
The design is being developed in KiCad and currently includes both schematic and PCB layout files.

The schematic and PCB layout have been created and opened successfully in KiCad. The design already contains the major functional blocks for relay control, sensing, power regulation, and external wiring connections.
The PCB layout is still being improved. Current work includes:
The board is intended to combine control and monitoring functions in a compact home automation PCB. The relay section is used for switching loads, while the sensing section supports electrical monitoring. Optocouplers are included to improve isolation between the control and switching sections.
The current PCB layout is functional as a design draft, but it is not yet marked as manufacturing-ready. I am still refining the routing and resolving design rule issues before producing final Gerber fabrication files.
The next development steps are:
This project demonstrates my ongoing KiCad PCB design workflow, including schematic capture, PCB layout development, routing, DRC checking, and iterative board improvement.
The design is still under development and will be updated as improvements are made.
